quired to satisfy the professor under whom they 
propose to study, of their adequate preparation for 
what they desire. 

4. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Law: 

A fair English education, embracing a reasonable 
familiarity with the history of the United Statess 
and of England, will alone be required. Although 
a classical or collegiate education is not exacted, it 
is recommended as highly desirable. 

In examining the question of admission, due con- 
sideration will be given to the fact of graduation or 
previous study in other chartered universities or 
colleges. 

The general method of instruction will be by lec- 
tures, aided by text books, with frequent class room 
examinations. 

Detailed statements of the courses in the several 
schools, with the text books to be used, and the dis- 
tribution of hours, will be published hereafter. 

The Constitution of the State of Texas provides 
that no charge whatever shall be made for tuition, 
but a matriculation fee is authorized, and $20 per 
term in the Law Department, and $10 per term in 
the Literary Department, is by order of the Board 
of Regents imposed. 

Text books can be procured from the booksellers 
of Austin at moderate prices. 



_ »► ♦ «♦ 

University of Texas. 



There are no detailed rules of discipline, but full 
confidence is felt in the upright principles and hon- 
orable feeling of the young men and young women 
of Texas, for whose benefit the University has been 
founded. It is, however, the reserved right, as it is 
the duty of the Faculty, to exclude from this benefit 
any students who either by misconduct or by per- 
sistent neglect of their studies, prove that they are 
doing harm to themselves or others. Offenses 
against State or municipal law will be remitted alto- 
gether to the civil authorities to be dealt with. 

It should be understood that a University is for 
students capable of self control, and not requiring 
constant restraint by parents or teachers. It is most 
unwise to send to such an institution those who are 
too young to be safely trusted to their own govern- 
ment in morals and habits, since, although they 
may be aided by judicious advice from their teach- 
ers and good influence from home, they incur grave 
risk of injury if sent out into the world before they 
are themselves prepared to r resist such influence for 
evil as is of necessity everywhere to be met in some 
degree. 

There are no dormitory rooms connected with the 
University, and all students, young men and young 
women, must arrange for boarding in private fam- 
ilies in the city of Austin. In each case the special 
sanction of the Faculty must be obtained before any

such individual arrangement can be permitted. 
Parents and guardians are warned against the se- 
rious dangers connected with extravagance in the 
supply of money to students, and are strongly ad- 
vised to deposit the funds of their children and 
wards, either in the hands of a discreet friend, or 
with the Proctor of the University. 

Board and lodging can be procured in the city of 
Austin, at rates ranging from $15.00 to $25.00 per 
month.

The above is intended merely as a general indica- 
tion of the course to be pursued, and the right is 
reserved to insert or omit, according to the wants 
of students. Virgil, for instance, may be substituted 
for Ovid, and other works of Cicero may be substi- 
tuted for those indicated. Students should not pur- 
chase books until they are needed. For the ad- 
vanced classes the parallel work, including Stand-
